A RECENT editorial paragraph in the Jour-
nal regarding the failure of the sorghum sugar
experiments at Fort Scott, Kan, elected q
sharp criticism from an esteemed correspond
emit at Colfax, Ind, who says the experiments
were entirely successful and gives as his
authority the person who was practical fore
man of the works" If this person has stated
that the Fort Scott experiments were success
full he takes different view from that held
by Prof H. W. Wiley, United States chemist
who, as the representative of the Agricultural
Department, had charge of the Fort Scott
experiments. His official report, just pub
lished, is quite exhaustive of the subject, and
in conclusion he says:
'"rhe most important point suggested is the
absolute failure OF the experiments to demon
strate the commercial practicability of manu-
featuring sorghum sugar. | should, indeed,
be glad TO leave this industry in a more prom
ising condition. 1t must be con-
fessed finally that the chief object of this last
series OF experiments, viz: to place the indus
try where private capital would see its way
clear to its extension over large area, has not
been attained. | leave the work
with only one regret, and that is that the
future of the sorghum industry is still in
doubt"
We are content to let the matter rest on the
official report of Professor Wiley which, we
respectfully submit, indicates that the expert
ments were far from being great success.

DOUBTS are expressed at Washington as to
the truth of the report that ex-senator Thur
man has declined the Presidents offer of
an interstate-commerce commissionership. 1t
does test the credulity to be told that Dem

without more proof than ''say So"

so funny that one of the coored attendants who
heard it was afterward heard to exclaim: "Iil

NEW Albany had pert young man.
Built on sort of poll-parrot plan,
Who went by the name of Jewett;
A glib young man with facile tongue
Fair in the middle this member hung,
With no sort Of weight tied to it,
How they suffered, those folks down South,
From this young man of the awful mouth
1t quite passed the bounds of nature.

Then they cruelty sent him up this way,
And he's here in the Legislature

THE agent who sold to MIR. John Wanamaker
Of Philadelphia, Munkacsy's large painting
"Christ before PLATE" says in an interview:
81 cannot tell you the price agreed upon, as
promised Mr. Wanamaker that would not give
the figures for publication until he gave his as
sent, but will say that they are considerably
over $10O,0O0 When brought the picture to
this country held it at s150,O0O Since then
have refused offers of $50, coo and 100000 AS
I understand it, Mr.. Wanamaker is building a
large art gallery to be connected with his dry
goods establishment in Philadelphia and he
wanted Christ before Plate as feature of his
collection. The size Of the canvas is "a by II
feet. and the figures, of which there are thirty
six, are life-size. The artist spent over year
in executing the work, designing and sketching
each figure separately before placing in on the
main canvas"
Under the contract of sale the picture is to be
delivered to Mr. Wanamaker May ], and un-
til that time will be On exhibition in New York
and perhaps some Western cities. 1t is a
curious mixture Of art and trade that the most
costly painting ever sold in this country should
be added as an annex to dry goods store.

About Nervousness.

a short and easy method of testing the comparative nervousness of the sexes, says a writer in Harper's Bazar. Take the very sweetest and most domestic of men, the most home-loving and equable, and see if he can have patience with the children, day in and day out, as can a wife much less gifted by nature with these fine qualities. The children may be the sweetest ever born, and yet each will be sure to pass through stages in its development wher its cross-ques- tionings, its needless resistings, it's chronic deafnesses, its endless "What?" and "Why?" and "Whom did you say?" will furnish grounds of practice for saintship. Not that all mothers are equal to the this task-far from it; but when it comes to nerves, the average mo ther takes all this trial and pres sure in a way that puts the average father to shame. I knew a shrewd woman who, whenever her hus- band had given her lecture on nervousness, used to contrive to have him dress one or two of the children for school on winters morning, after a breakfast slightly belated. The good man would fall meekly into the trap,not clear ly remembering the vastness of the labor--the adjustings, and the tyings, and the buttonings; the leggings, and the overdrawers, and the artic shoes; the jacket, scarf, coat, gloves, mittens, wristers; the hat or cap, or hood, to be pulled, and pushed, and tied in proper position: the complete way in which all these things, besides be- ing put on, must be mutually made fast by strings, and buttons. and salty pins, so that the ckild thus dressed is model of compressed packing, and could, like a well packed barrel of china, be sent around the world without injury. Calm must be the spirit, high the purpose, of the father who reaches the end of this complex task with out a word of impatience, while the wife whom he calls nervous has long since taken off his hands the other child assigned to him, and has long since, with delft hands, dressd her, and given one patient, final, all-comprehending twitch, and the whole thing is done. If you doubt whether men are, on the whole, and in their own way, as nervous as women. test them with getting the children ready for school, and remember that their mother does it twice a day at least every day of helife.

The McGlynn Demonstration.

REPORTS DIFFER AS TO THE EXTENT OF 1T.
The y. y. .Si1n says: The demonstration In honor
OF DIT. McGlynn Saturday night was one Of the
largest that has ever been held in Union Square.
From Il, 600 TO Il, 900 men paraded over the 81
mile circuit Along the line OF march the greatest
kind OF enthusiasm reigned. The cry, "Don't,
don't don't go TO Rome." was heard continuously
along the line, and was echoed back by the people
standing on the sidewalks Around Union Square
In front Of the cottage thousands OF people were
packed together The cottage was draped with
the stars and stripes In the center OF the shed
covering the grand stand was a large
American shield surmounted by an eagle.
When Dr. McGlynn appeared In 18th street, max
ing his way TO the platform, cheers arose, and
cries OF "Hurrah for the SOggarth AroOn," and
"God bless our martyr priest" Men waved their
hats and women shook their handkerchiefS. Peo-
PIE shook the depoSed priest by the hand, and 1t
was nearly fifteen minutes before he could reach
the platform. An effort was made to raise the
Doctor on the shoulders OF several men, but ne
insisted on walking. When he reached the plat
form several ladies belonging to st. stephens
church presented him with bouquets. DIR. McGlynn
ana Henry George both made speeches, and resO-
lutiOns were adopted commencing DR.. McGlynn'S
his refusal 10 go 10 Rome. No Interference by
tiOme In American politics was the text Of the
evening.
The World says: The McGlynn demonstration
saturday night was not as pronounced numerically
as II might have been About &, 600 men paraded
the streets and were reviewed in Union Square.
The percentage OF Germans was very large. Alto
gether the performance hardly came up TO the ad-

EXPECTATION THAT DAvITT, oBRIEN, DILLON, AND
SEXTON WILL PROSECUTED AS SOON AS THE
CRIMES BILL BECOMES LAW.
London dispatches say the Salisbury government
IS inclined to encourage the Irish leaders to make
violent speeches, in order that, when the crimes
bill becomes a law. they may be arrested and
thrown into prison. Mr. Davttt has on several oc-
casions repeated his advice to the people to use
force in resisting unjustifable evictlons and the
dispatches say he will certainly be arrested as
soon as the government Is clothed with the arbi-
trary power afforded by the crimes bill OBrfen,
Dillon and sexton, 1t Is also asserted, have been
marked for arrest at the first convenient opportu-

An inquest was held at Leonardtown, Nd, over
the body OF Ben Hance, colOred man, who was
taken from the jail early Friday morning in that
place where he was held on the charge OF at
tempted rape, and hung 10 tree outside OF the
town by party OF unknown men. The jailer, Mr..
Clements, and his wife, who lived In the JAIL teS-
tined TO the facts OF the forcbe Jail delivery OF the
prisoner, as printed In Saturdays STAR. He said
that he thought that he recognized the voice Of
Bill Bailey or Shecklin among those talking out
side OF the jail The 1ailer's wife said that she
recognized the voice OF Buck Waters. Harry
SpauIding. member OF the jury, testified that a
gentleman had come TO his room about o'clock
that morning and informed him that Hance was
